Because wrestling is predetermined and the odds take drastic shifts shortly before the event starts once word gets out about who is going to win, therefore "odds on fav" = pretty much guaranteed to win, hence the spoiler tags for people that don't want to have results spoiled for them by degenerates that gamble on professional wrestling.

Naomi Hometown = Orlando
Wrestlemania = Orlando
Better marketing/pr opportunities for the week of the show, I guess.
That is the extent of WWE's reasoning. Fuck all logical storyline.

Pretty much but she nails her gimmick.

They'd be fine if people knew how to use spoiler tags.

Carmella has done great so far.
I'm also liking the Nattie / Nikki feud. It's had quite a bit of build and the package was well done.

So Alexa wins it back since WWE loves to have the hometown favourites lose

Naomi walking in to Wrestlemania as champion won't happen...Actually wait its her home town and Vince loves to make people lose in their home town.

It's not you. It's the people who respond to them (case in point the Naomi post quoted at the top of this page).
And spoiled again three posts below me. lol
So, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Carmellsworth being on this preshow means that the entire Smackdown Live active roster is on this show tonight? Kane is the only omission I can think of but I think I remember seeing he had some injuries since he hasn't been on the show in months.
Oh shit you're giving me hope

Naomi may win via DQ or count-out. Plenty of ways Alexa can lose and remain champ heading into Mania.
Movie spoilers have a dedicated topic for a reason.
One person posting it is simple enough to skip, but when you add a bunch of quote and reaction spoilers, and comments which aren't spoilers, the whole thing unravels.

I mean, Eva Marie is technically on Smackdown's roster. Doubt we'll see her.
Movies don't have betting odds though.
I never thought I'd be happy to hear a Flo Rida theme for a wrasslin PPV but the last few PPVs have had some of the all time worst theme (Rumbles Blow Your Mind theme might have been the most annoying in history).

Who the fuck is this random jabroni on the panel? Looks like the kind of unfunny candy ass mark who turns up on talking heads shows on vh1 or some shit.

What is with Vince's hard on for Flo Rida?

I think the point is that the betting odds are pretty much spoilers. When was the last time we got swerved and a significant favorite actually lost?
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
